The fight for emancipation involved everyone.

And they can be honored on Memorial Day.

The women's suffrage movement was just one part of the fight for equality for women.  That victory (and ongoing battle) deserves to be recognized.

We also had elections before blacks could vote.

The goal is to rey to come up with holidays that don't call attention to one group. But hey just my opinion. If the collective feels each deserve the top 10 then I'm on board. 

On Election Day we could celebrate all sexes, races that fought for and won their right to vote. Heck, I'd be good with selebrating it and replace Independence Day as everyone didn't earn their freedom on that day.
